Cheteshwar Pujara c V Rao b Sammy353260109.38

10.6

Sammy to Pujara, out Caught by V Rao!! Pujara goes trying to play a big shot. It was very unlike him to play such a shot. This was the slower one from Sammy, Pujara picked it up early, he went on his knees and slog swept it to deep mid wicket, he connected well but found Rao to perfection. A very good take from Rao who took it inches rom the ropes. Pujara c V Rao b Sammy 35(32) [4s-6]

Virender Sehwag c Sammy b A Mishra302223136.36

6.4

Mishra to Sehwag, out Caught by Sammy!! Mishra has his man as Sehwag perishes playing one shot too many. Even after hitting a six of the previous ball, Sehwag goes again, he does not connect it well as he picks out Sammy perfectly at long on. End of an entertaining innings. Sehwag c Sammy b Mishra 30(22) [4s-2 6s-3]

17.6

Mishra to Maxwell, out Caught by Sammy!! Maxwell misses out on another hundred. He goes for after carting another magnificent innings.

Bhuvneshwar to D Miller, out Caught by Warner!! Warner holds onto a catch but he is not too pleased as it is not Maxwell. Fuller delivery just outside off, Miller tries to go down town, he mistimes it to long on, Warner runs and takes a good catch. That was well bowled by Bhuvneshwar who delivered it well outside off, Miller ended up dragging it. D Miller c Warner b Bhuvneshwar 10(10) [6s-1]

Bhuvneshwar to Bailey, out Caught by Warner!! Bhuvneshwar rewarded for some good tight bowling.

Aaron Finch b Balaji191521126.67

4.3

Balaji to Finch, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! This was a tad fuller and shaped back into Finch, he was rooted to his crease as he went for the drive, the ball snuck underneath the bat and crashes into the middle of middle stump. Finch disappoints again, Hyderabad are in some trouble. Finch b Balaji 19(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

Shikhar Dhawan (captain)c W Saha b Johnson130033.33

1.2

Johnson to Dhawan, out Caught by W Saha!! Loose shot from Dhawan, Johnson has struck early for Punjab. This was pitched up and held its line outside off, Dhawan went nowhere as he frailed at that, gets a bottom edge that is easily snapped up by Saha. Not the kind of start Hyderabad would have hoped for, Dhawan falls for just a single. Dhawan c W Saha b Johnson 1(3)

David Warner c Maxwell b Balaji8121066.67

4.5

Balaji to Warner, out Caught by Maxwell!! Hyderabad are falling away here. Warner falls, second wicket of the over. This was pitched up around off, stopped on Warner as he looked to defend, the ball goes off the shoulder of the bat, a simple head high catch for Maxwell at backward point, this is going pear shaped at the moment for Hyderabad. Warner c Maxwell b Balaji 8(12) [4s-1]

Lokesh Rahul (wk)c D Miller b A Patel272711100.00

14.1

A Patel to Rahul, out Caught by D Miller!! Rahul falls after a brief fight, this was tossed up by Patel, Rahul came charging down the track, wasn't there to the pitch of the ball but still went through with the lofted shot, gets a lot of height but Miller is safely underneath it at long off. 2nd wicket for Patel. Rahul c D Miller b A Patel 27(27) [4s-1 6s-1]

Venugopal Rao b Sandeep Sharma11920122.22

6.6

Sandeep Sharma to V Rao, out Bowled!! Awful shot from Rao, made to look worse on replays. This was pitched on off and held its line, stayed a tad low as well. Rao went for the almighty hack across the line, misses and the off-stump takes a beating. Hyderabad are going downhill and fast. V Rao b Sandeep Sharma 11(9) [4s-2]

Irfan Pathan b A Patel590055.56

10.2

A Patel to I Pathan, out Bowled!! Patel is delirious as he castles Pathan. This was the arm ball, bowled quicker through the air, Pathan was looking for the swing over mid-wicket, misses and the stumps are rattled. I Pathan b A Patel 5(9)

Darren Sammy c A Patel b Balaji151101136.36

13.3

Balaji to Sammy, out Caught by A Patel!! Sammy falls and that should be the end for Hyderabad. This was short and wide from Balaji, Sammy has to reach out for the shot, does not get hold of it and hits it in the air towards mid-off. Patel leaps his jump to perfection and comes up with a smart catch. Sammy c A Patel b Balaji 15(11) [6s-1]

Karan Sharma c D Miller b Johnson10801125.00

17.3

Johnson to Karan Sharma, out Caught by D Miller!! Catching practise for Miller at mid-off. Johnson followed Sharma as he backed away, he was cramped for room, gets a leading edge that is easily gobbled up by Miller at mid-off. Karan Sharma c D Miller b Johnson 10(8) [6s-1]

Dale Steyn b Balaji12160075.00

18.3

Balaji to Steyn, out Bowled!! Balaji gets his fourth wicket, he is the owner of the purple cap. The slower off-cutter from Balaji, Steyn swings at that blindly and misses, the ball goes on to hit the top of off-stump. Steyn b Balaji 12(16)

R Dhawan to Bhuvneshwar, out Caught by Johnson!! Comprehensive victory for Punjab, they win by 72 runs.
